Chlorine Dioxide Portable Photometer-kit

Chlorine Dioxide Portable Photometer Kit (HI96738)

Brand Chemical Supplies provides the Hanna Instruments HI96738, a professional-grade portable photometer designed for the precise measurement of Chlorine Dioxide (ClO_2) in water. Chlorine dioxide is a powerful oxidizing agent used in disinfection and water treatment; this kit provides the laboratory-grade accuracy required to monitor residuals and ensure effective microbial control while remaining portable for field use.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Benefits

• CAL Check™ Validation: One of the most critical features for professional users. This allows you to verify the instrument’s performance and calibration at any time using Hanna’s traceable standards, ensuring your readings are always accurate before making process adjustments.

• Built-in Timer: Ensuring the chemical reaction takes exactly the right amount of time is vital for photometric accuracy. The HI96738 has an integrated countdown timer to ensure the user takes the reading at the precise moment required by the method.

• Advanced Optical System: Utilizing a specialized interference filter, the meter minimizes stray light and ensures that only the correct wavelength is measured, resulting in high repeatability even in the field.

• Exclusive “Positive-Lock” System: The cuvette is designed to lock into the same position every time it is inserted into the meter. This ensures that the optical path length remains consistent (10 mm), eliminating errors caused by cuvette rotation.

• GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) Capabilities: The meter stores the date and time of the last successful calibration, which can be recalled at the touch of a button for audit and quality control purposes.

Primary Applications

• Food & Beverage Industry: Monitoring ClO_2 levels in flume water and produce wash-stations to ensure pathogen reduction without tainting the product.

• Cooling Towers & Legionella Control: Maintaining precise residuals to prevent biofilm buildup and control Legionella bacteria in industrial cooling systems.

• Drinking Water Treatment: Verifying the concentration of chlorine dioxide used as a primary disinfectant or for taste and odor control.

• Pulp & Paper Industry: Monitoring bleaching processes where ClO_2 is used as a highly selective oxidizing agent.

• Wastewater Disinfection: Ensuring effluent meets discharge standards without the formation of harmful chlorinated byproducts.

Measurement & Calibration

1. Zeroing: Place a cuvette with an unreacted water sample into the meter and press “Zero.” This accounts for any natural color or turbidity in your water.

2. Reaction: Add the Chlorine Dioxide reagents to the sample. The Chlorophenol Red will react with the $ClO_2$, causing a color change proportional to the concentration.

3. Read: Insert the reacted sample and press “Read.” The meter displays the concentration directly in $mg/L$.
